Field Research Practice in Management and Organization Studies: Reclaiming its Tradition of Discovery
这篇综述重新主张田野研究的发现认识论，强调其在管理与组织研究中虽处少数地位，但长期为理解工作完成过程中的新现象提供洞见，并指出当前方法讨论忽视了想象性解释所需的推测过程。
This review reasserts field research's discovery epistemology. While it occupies a minority position in the study of organization and management, discovery-oriented research practice has a long tradition of giving insight into new, unappreciated and misappreciated processes that are important to how work is accomplished. I argue that while methods discourse has long emphasized that particularizing data and an emergent research design are productive for discovery, little to no attention has been paid to the conjectural processes necessary to imaginatively interpret these observations. I underscore them. What is the future for discovery work in business schools today? Issues arise when an increasing interest in discovery-oriented research is expressed in an institutional context that is bounded off from field research's home disciplines and is dominated by a validation epistemology. In light of this current context, I offer some initial thoughts on the work to be done to maintain fieldwork's discovery tradition in management and organization studies.
